STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Skip The Coat

Hello, fashion lovers! This week I was running a few errands when I ran into this Fashionisto. I loved everything that he was wearing. The look was very easy to accomplish, yet you can see it looks like he took a lot of time to put it together. Men like things simple and easy, they do not over complicate things. One of my favorite fall looks is what he was wearing and it’s because of the vest.

Vests are one of the easiest accessories to pull off. You can add them to any outfit in order to spice it up or warm it up for the season, and I think this guy, Scott, did just that. Scott was generous enough to let me take photos and write this article about him while he was actually running some errands, too.

Skip the coat and add layers. I once put in an Instagram post, “layering should be my hobby” and I think it should be Scott’s, too! He told me that he really hates when winter comes because he always has to throw on the puffy coat and I would have to agree with that. He said, “Until it starts snowing or it’s 30 degrees or lower,” he will then get that coat out but until then, we layer, layer and layer!

He was wearing an army green, long-sleeve Henley shirt, he added a grey long-sleeve quarter-zip sweater to neutralize it and then a navy puffer vest on top of all that. He added simple khaki colored chinos, which are my favorite on men because those can be dressed down or dressed up! (Extra tip for you guys!) He told me that his entire outfit was from Banana Republic, which is coincidentally where I work! Scott said he loves this outfit because it was so easy to style, and he loves that he does not have to wear a big puffy coat everywhere he goes for all of fall and winter, he can just skip the coat and layer up!
